“Navarro is dumber than a sack of bricks,” Musk wrote.

"Musk has advocated against the new tariffs, including in public remarks and private conversations with Trump, according to people familiar with the matter."

Let's hope Musk wins.

I guess that will shut his f'in mouth, since he thought he was some sort of judicial tyrant giving orders to the Trump administration, trying to ORDER them to bring back criminal gang members to the US.

I'm very much thrilled this arrogant maggot Boasberg got put in his place.

The Supremes did their job today.  

Perhaps this will send a message to other NO-nothing Judges who think they have the ability to RUN the executive branch.  

They don't. They are puny little arrogant f'in paeons whose egos are too big for their black robe britches.  

And BTW, I'm guessing that our resident lawyer won't want to comment on this since he avoids giving any of his opinions on these out of control rogue little punks in district courts all over the nation.

It's "retired" lawyer to you, Richard.   I bet I'm doing more woodworking than you nowadays.  Fishing, skiing, and astronomy too!

For the rest of the forum, I am generally not in favor of District Court Judges granting nationwide injunctions.   The righties do not like it in the deportation cases, and the lefties sure as heck did not like it when a Texas District Court judge enjoined use of the drug Mifepristone for at-home abortions.   (The Texas judge got slapped down by the Supremes too.)    

I have not read the current opinion yet, but I think the issue of the scope of a District Court Judge's injunctive authority is still an open question.   At some point the Supreme Court is going to have to resolve this.  I said "generally" above because I can imagine scenarios where extreme damage caused by an extremely unconstitutional executive action can only be avoided by a nationwide injunction at the District Court level.  So I would not be surprised if the Supreme Court ultimately resolves the question of District Court injunctive authority with some form of "it depends."

In the deportation case, deportations were put on hold for a few weeks, so this was resolved quickly.   I agree with Richard and everyone else I suppose, when I say the Judge's verbal order to turn planes around in flight was arrogant and silly.

Did you feel this way when a Texas District Court judge issued a nation-wide injunction banning the use of Mifepristone for elective abortions?

I wonder how many times he can pull his chicken little bit, claiming the sky is falling, and then it doesn't fall, and he's left with egg dripping from his face?

It really is fun to watch the most gullible among the nation become raving hysterics like the resident communist Rod K. only to end up on the wrong side of the equation.  

I'm laughing my ass off!   

This is the second or third time you've claimed that Rod sold "all of his stocks."  Rod has never said that, never suggested anything of the sort, and I seriously doubt that Rod would sell off his stocks during the past several day's wild sell-off that Trump triggered. 

Why are you lying about something as personal and meaningful as this?   Is it as simple as you are a pathological liar?  

Also, I asked you a direct question here:  Post #2 https://astromart.com/forums/commentary-careful-read-the-terms-of-service/politics/corrupt-little-maggot-of-a-judge-in-the-dc-district-court-just-got-his-arrogant-little-ass-handed-to-him-on-a-plate-by-the-united-states-supreme-court?page=1#post207583

The above is your thread, filed with feigned outrage.  Why no answer to my question?

A few days ago, the White House Press Secretary called the reports of a 90-day pause fake news. Then, just a few hours before the announcement, Donald posts on Truth Social, "THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!! DJT." What exactly is so great about all this lying and chaos and what looks like market manipulation by the office of the President? What did we gain by crashing our stock market, putting our economy on an unstable footing, and throwing away decades of trust and stability, which is one of the inherent values of the American economy? What about all the US government debt that investors dumped due to the lack of confidence in American stability? How exactly did all of this put us in a stronger bargaining position? If this is the art of the deal, then I think most people are entirely unimpressed. And let's say Trump decides to do another reversal in 30 days, 60 days, or 90 days. How does all this whip-sawing back and forth help calm markets and investors and strengthen us? Trump is no great deal-maker. He caved, as many of us predicted he would, and now he's gaslighting you, making you think he did something great, when in fact he committed the most completely avoidable economic wounding the US has ever had to suffer.

Of course Richard is lying.  Lying is his thing - look at the ugly lies he is spreading in this and other threads about Rod K.

LOL!

Clearly makes you a liar, on both counts.

Not me.  Being a buy and hold guy, I rode the market down, and I rode it partway back up today.  I am relieved, but as people smarter than you have noted, we are not out of the woods yet.  The markets are still down YTD, a lot.  Thank goodness Trump blinked when he did.  This is the financial equivalent of the Cuban missile crisis,  with Trump playing the part of Khrushchev.  

By the way, I'm telling the truth about being a buy and hold investor, put at great risk because of Trump's dumb-assery.  You on the other hand are obviously lying about timing this market to make money.  For starters, no one believes that you have a job or any money.  So the thought of you selling precious metals to buy equities is laughable.  Second, everyone knows you lie pathologically.  Third, you are not smart enough to time the market.

The only dumbass here is yourself, because you expect us to believe that you sold precious metals, and then timed the market just right and bought equities and made a mint. Bullshit. As I said before, receipts or it didn't happen.

Second, the market has hardly recovered from the damage done. All the markets are still down 5-6% from where they were before Trump's tariff fiasco started. Institutional investors are still dumping bonds and treasuries and rebalancing portfolios, assuming that the orange menace is up to more dumb-assery. There is still a lot of uncertainty and instability in the market and the global economy.

Lastly, the reason we didn't blame Biden is because Biden was not a dumbass participating in market manipulation. It's impossible to argue that Trump and his policies are not directly responsible for the chaos and volatility currently in the market and that he is also almost single-handedly responsible for putting us at a high risk for recession. He accomplished all of that ass-hattery in just a few short days with some of the dumbest and completely avoidable economic policies any of us have seen in our lifetimes.

But wait James, there is more.  Richard sold a million in overnight trading then bought it all back at 10:05 MST this morning.  Made a cool $60-70k.  Easy peasy.  Rich is a genius, makes Warren Buffett look like Gomer Pyle.

Not sure when we want to peg the start of Trump's tariff fiasco, but the markets are currently down about 12% from mid-late February.

Now this is damn funny.  Did you ever think that Russ might be mocking you and your fib-a-minute style Rich?  See for example, Oh... maybe all of the recent stock market threads where you spun the lie that at least Rod, me, and James were panic selling during the last two week's crashes?  Lies you told with no basis at all, of course.  Russ is a comic genius, and you are a boob.
